You eventually end up on r/budgetaudiophile, followed by random trips to goodwill and lost hours browsing marketplace and Craigslist. Or so I’ve heard.

I like r/scams to stay on top of the latest frauds, r/casualuk for the puns, and r/budgetaudiophile for useful info on how to get great sound on the cheap.

Nice little $10 Facebook Marketplace purchase. It was “broken” but a little bit of TLC brought it back to life.
The J. Geils tape came with it, so that’s a bonus.

I’m late to the Koss KPH40 game…how can a pair of $29 headphones sound so good??? These have been hyped in audiophile and head-fi forums for awhile now, and I refused to believe it. Boy was I wrong…these are glorious! Highly recommend to, well, everyone! #budgetaudiophile #headphones #koss

Got a new record. Stewart’s drum intro to ‘Driven to Tears’ is just 💯 to the max.

Nice! I’ve been spending way too much time scanning /budgetaudiophile on Reddit. So many odd speaker systems, etc. on there!

Check out the r/turntables and r/budgetaudiophile subreddits, lots of useful information on starter set-ups there.

Good luck! My advice would be save up and stay away from any cheap plastic crap and Bluetooth, you’ll wanna upgrade that in no time anyway so don’t waste your money.

r/BudgetAudiophile is hereby nominated for Best Subreddit because it’s a bunch of dudes who find their own obsession with audio gear to be sort of sad and hilarious. “Look at me throwing away my life! I can’t even hear the difference between CD and 320 vorbis LOL nothing matters”
